01:34 pm - Feeling Good

I seem to be getting a reputation in the gym. Here's what people say to me: "Where do you get all that energy?" Today I got: "What do you eat for breakfast? Cuz whatever it is, I want some!" One of the funnier comments I got was: "You should patent that walk."

I don't know, but the gym just makes me feel very alive and energetic. Maybe it's the music. Maybe it's the equipment or all those people working out together. I just get this jumping-out-of-my-skin kind of feeling that has to express in a bouncy step, a smile on my face, and a desire to trot around. (I resist the desire to skip.) This was a common feeling when I was a kid. In fact, I never walked if I could run. So, maybe I'm feeling a bit more of my true nature in the gym than I do working around the house every day. Of course, if I put rousing music on, even my housework becomes a pleasureful workout. Like right now, I'm listening to some excellent Celtic music that's making it hard to sit still and type. So much energy in that music! In fact, here I go.... see you next time!
